Katie Price and Alex Reid marry in Las Vegas

Katie Price and her boyfriend Alex Reid have married in Las Vegas, a spokesman
for the couple has announced.

The couple tied the knot in a ''private, simple'' ceremony at 4pm local time on Tuesday.

The newly-weds said in a statement: ''We are very much in love and look forward to the future together. We can't wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes.''

Price, 31, who split from ex-husband Peter Andre in May last year, has been dating cage fighter Reid, 34, for around seven months.

Much of their relationship has been played out in public thanks to a string of TV appearances and extensive newspaper coverage.

A statement from the couple's publicist said: "Their decision to marry has not been made with any preconceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other."
